@@EpiczPG like my specs? It's not my pc. I managed to get it running before and then I had to do a fresh windows install. Now when I try installing mods on my Skyrim it persistently gives me issues regarding vortex needs access to whatever mod I'm installing but doesn't have permission to. But I don't have special permissions set on my pc
Petty Labelle no i was saying what program do you use but i guess you use vortex lol, always make sure you launch the program as an administrator if anything regarding permissions ever pops up on your computer

He did it because it still works today.. it will be a hassle if he create a new one video with the same content just with different title and thumbnail
Finally, a no nonsense tutorial! Helped a lot, Currently don't have ethernet access so is it possible to install the mods on a laptop then drop them into a usb, plug it into the main pc and complete via your method?
Here's some more information for OP or anyone curious on offline/manual installation. If you already have a mod downloaded it is also possible to install mods via offline manually like in the video or read the readme file for instructions or through a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager (Outdated), Vortex and Mod Organizer 2 with most Elder Scrolls or Fallout games. I've been using Mod Organizer 2, easier to roll back mods: Drag and drop the zip file into the downloads tab and there you go mod organiser will think you downloaded the mod and you can go ahead and double click on the mod to proceed and install it without needing to download the mod. For Nexus mod Manager which is outdated now: On top of the window there is a folder icon, select it and then select "open NMM's mods Folder" drag and drop the zip file in and it should appear right into NMM however you have to categorise the mod yourself this way. You can now search the mod and install it via Nexus Mod Manager and disable it this way too. I don't use Vortex but I think offline installation through this software is possible. On a side note, if previously installed mods are still active after reinstalling this simply means reinstalling Skyrim does not hard reset it back into vanilla, you would have to delete all mods manually added into the Skyrim folder after uninstalling. Just uninstall skyrim and delete the skyrim folder it should get rid off all ENBs and other unwanted files. This is because the steam uninstall program only removes what was downloaded directly from steam, which is why a mod manager is preferable for easily removing mods. This can also happen to other games to like GTA5, Half Life, L4D2 and others so be sure to clean up mods before reinstalling, it saves a lot of hassle. Plus Skyrim/Fallout 4 mostly uses BSAs, compact files that contain main game/DLC/MOD content and with enough back tracking you can delete mods without needing to reinstall the game.
This is a very high quality tutorial, you move at the right pace, and your voice is very clear, and you describe everything very well, this is a very good video, you've gained a subscriber.
As someone getting into modding my favourite RPG games, I have subbed to you for an easy and simple explanation rather than telling me about the significance and relevance of the terra-intricacies of sub-anatomical time manipulation or some random crap, thank you once again my friend!!
@@EpiczPG no prob man, also: I'm currently working on modding my game now, with SKSE how did you install it? It's on a different page to nexus and I have to extract the files
Thanks man, i have been having problems with vortex and whenever i went to load skyrim se my pc would always crash, this made it so much easier to play with mods
I appreciate this. I just bought a new laptop for gaming. I had to do it lmao. I've played around with files before and this is a great refresher for me. Thanks again.
seriously, into the data folder. what's the point of the mod folder then lol. Thanks so much for this, I never in a million years would've figured this out myself.
I haven't played on PC in years, was planning on starting playing games on PC again soon, glad to see nothing has changed with manually installing mods since, I was worried that there would be a bunch more steps since steam became a thing.
Why did I not think of finding a video tutorial for this before. Now that you showed me, it seems so easy. Thank you so much. I'm usually the type of guy who barely knows how computers function, and moding has motivated me to at least learn the basics about files. What an amazing community. Trial and error though. Somehow managed to delete something for steam making all of steam no longer work for me. Had to reinstall everything from scratch. Now I know not to just delete the driver. lol. I also found out what a driver is. Yes, I'm that much of a noob at this. If I can figure it out with your help, then anyone can.
@@EpiczPG Thanks. Still really struggling with some mods though. I keep getting an error when starting up the game. I've followed the ReadMe instructions for the script extender and read forum discussions, but nothing fixes it. If you know what I'm doing wrong, please tell me, but don't go out of your way to do lots or research on my behalf. I don't want to be a bother. "SKYUI error code 1 the skyrim script extender (skse64) is not running. SkyUI will not work correctly! RaceMenu Error(s): You are running SKS Version 0.0.0.0 expected 2.0.7.56 or greater.

i watched like 5 other tutorials and they were all either 7 years old 7 years long or didnt show you how to download anything you helped me out so much
Just when I'm about to do another skyrim run the bethesda mod servers went down and I wasn't sure how to install any mods. So I'm very glad I've found your video! Great work!
I got a pc over christmas and got Skyrim se with it, i've been trying nexus mod manager and vortex but they're not working, this seems good and i don't see any problems with the tutorial so i'll give this a try
At 5:54 you don't need to have the Data Folder open, you can drop the Copy of the Mod Files onto the Data Folder as it's seen next to the other Skyrim folders, they will then be seen in the Data Folder when open.
Thank you so much! I have watched so many video's but they were soooo unclear and I always did it wrong, but you explained it really clear and now it works, tysm!
2023 → doesn't work. In first Skyrim we needed to activate them in a dialog which doesn't exist anymore. In Special Edition I found that we need to manually create the file which was previously automated (plugins.txt in appdata skyrim subfolder) with a slightly different syntax (add "*" before mod's name)
I don't know what I'm doing wrong... I only downloaded a character preset for Breton and the mods are not working... I did everything this video said and for the Special Edition... but nope lol... guess modding isn't for me how sad
thank you for making a clear and concise tutorial, i've been looking for like 45 minutes now for just this information and every other video is just misleading and filled with unnecessary lectures and bs. thumbs up from me!
My skyrim special edition is in Libraries> Documents>My Games. When I go to the steam folder it just has a folder called CODEX when I click on it there are two folders 645730 and 814380 inside both of these folders are two empty folders called local and remote. I don't understand.
I found out that you need to go to the Skyrim SE loading screen. The place were you would start to play, and then click the mods button and go to something called load order and they mods you download should be there and you have to click on them to actually activate them. (Also having an ENB seems to not let most mods show in the mods order.) I don't know if it will still work if you download the ENB again after having the mods activated though
Thanks. That worked. A bit long for "drop files into Data folder" though. Since there's Mods folder which I tried first. Nexus pisses me off sometimes. I never get any help, it's hard to get there with megapasswords and such, and now I come to get the better map mod and it doesn't even tell how to install it! I swear to god, the only thing they say is "it can be easily installed and uninstalled". Not a single place where they say how. An hour of headache for 10 seconds fix. SMP
The new launcher doesn't have the 'Data' option like back then. I tried adding the bEnableFileSelection=1 on SkyrimPref and still doesn't work. Any way on how to enable the esp manually ?
It seems now you have to enter the game, in the main menu there is an option called mods, click on it and press the Home key to go to the load order and enable the mods
I'm new to Skyrim mods, but have been modding other games for quite some time now. First I'd like to say thanks for making it simple, I really do hate the Nexus manager. I'd also like to point out something important. I have an interface face folder with things in it. If I were to replace this folder, I'd lose everything I have in it. I have friends who have ruined their Fallout NV and Fallout 4 games from not knowing and doing this. Just trying to help out people who aren't used to modding. Copy and past the files in the downloaded folder to the same folder that exists in your game. As stated, I literally just decided that I wanted to start modding Skyrim, and this was my first stop after googling it. Thanks again for keeping it simple. And for those who are new at modding... There are mods that may have the same types of files, but directions say to use the mod manger. FOLLOW the directions, there's a reason for it and load order is a big one.
I’m having a problem with this. So I download the mod right? Then I get the mod file from win rar and I put it in the data folder but when I go to Skyrim I don’t see my mods anywhere? How do I fix this?
This is arguably the best mod installing tutorial out there. But there's one problem; the audio is too low. Well guess you can't have everything, but thanks a lot nonetheless.
